Business and Economics

These areas are not very exciting, just very important. Business men can do it. Those who can't are economists, the ones who tell their betters how to run their lives. That is why I put business before economists; they are the dangerous ones. Actually big business can be evil too.

US trade deficit widens in August to $59 billion [ 14 October 2005 ]
George is spending money like it going out of fashion. So are Americans. It go out of fashion for that reason.

 

The IMF Has Lost Its Influence [ 12 October 2005 ]
The International Monetary Fund had power and it could screw the peasants into the ground. They did it once too often. The Argies told them to go to the Devil and that was them under control. The Argies are even sorting themselves by ignoring the IMF demands.

 

The American Economy is Destroying Itself [ 26 August 2005 ]
Accountants and managers are driving jobs offshore and with them the men who have the background to innovate. Innovation from offshore means the death of the goose that lays the golden egg and keeps accountants off the dole queue. Thus quoth a real economist.

 

Killing the dollar in Iran [ 26 August 2005 ]
George and his peculiar friends are leaning on Iran. If they stop trading oil in dollars it will save a lot of money worldwide and hurt America. Other commodities could be traded in Euros too. Saddam Hussein was going down this road then the Americans invaded. Cause and effect?

 

Ludwig von Mises Institute
There are two kinds of economists, Austrian and rubbish. Ludwig was an Austrian economist. Worth a look sometimes.
